Customize your calendar display to focus on what matters most for your operation. Control what information appears, how activities are organized, and which timeslots display based on staffing, resources, or availability.

 

Calendar View Types

Choose the view that matches your planning needs:

  • Month View: High-level overview of your entire schedule. Best for long-term planning and identifying booking patterns.
  • Week View: Balanced detail showing your weekly operations. Ideal for day-to-day scheduling and resource management.
  • Day View: Most granular view with complete timeslot details. Perfect for managing operations on the day of departure.

Switch between views using the Day, Week, or Month options in the upper right corner of your calendar.

 

Opening Customization Options

All calendar customization happens through one central menu:

  1. Navigate to the Calendar tab
  2. Select Customize View in the upper left corner
  1. Adjust filters and display options
  2. Select Save to preserve your settings

 

Basic Calendar Filters

Display Rows By

Choose how activities are organized in Week View:

  • By Activity (Default): Each row represents an individual activity or tour. This is the standard view most operators use for daily scheduling.
  • By Resource Group: Each row represents a resource group (bikes, vehicles, vessels, etc.) instead of individual activities. This view displays equipment usage across all activities at once.
    • What You'll See:
      • Left number: Resources currently in use
      • Right number: Total resources in that group
    • Example: If you have 10 bikes and 5 are booked, the row displays 5 / 10
    • When to Use This View:
      • Equipment-heavy operations needing quick inventory checks
      • Managing fleet availability across multiple activities
      • Day-of logistics and capacity verification
      • Tracking gear usage without clicking into individual bookings

Use the filters on the left side to show or hide specific resource groups.

 

Timeslot Display Options

Control what information appears on each individual timeslot card:

Availability Count

Toggle the availability count display on or off.

  • On: Shows remaining capacity (e.g., "30 avail")
  • Off: Hides the availability indicator

Turn this off when availability isn't your primary focus or to simplify the calendar display.

Resources

Choose whether assigned resources appear on timeslots.

  • On: Shows equipment like boats, bikes, or vehicles assigned to each timeslot
  • Off: Hides resource assignments from the calendar view

Disable this when focusing exclusively on staffing or when resources aren't relevant to your current task.

Guides

Display guide assignments directly on the calendar.

  • Single guide: Full name appears on the timeslot
  • Multiple guides: Hover over the timeslot to see all assigned guides

This provides an at-a-glance view of staffing across your entire schedule.

 

Guide Assignment Filtering

Focus on specific staffing needs using the guide assignment filter:

Show Timeslots Without Guides

When enabled: Calendar displays only timeslots that do not have a guide assigned.

Use this to:

  • Identify which activities need staffing
  • Plan your week by seeing exactly what requires coverage
  • Prioritize guide assignment for upcoming departures

Show All Timeslots

When disabled: Calendar displays all timeslots regardless of guide assignment status.

Use this to:

  • Review complete schedules with guide assignments visible
  • Verify appropriate coverage across your operation
  • See who's working when throughout the week

 

 

Advanced Options (Day View)

Hide Empty

Removes activities with no bookings from your calendar. Use this to focus exclusively on scheduled operations and reduce visual clutter.

Hide Full/Unavail

Filters out fully booked or unavailable tours. Helps you quickly identify activities with remaining capacity.

Group Timeslots

When an activity has more than five timeslots, the system automatically groups them to keep your calendar organized. Disable this option to see all timeslots listed individually instead.

This setting is particularly useful in Day View when you need to see every departure time without clicking to expand grouped timeslots.

 

Saving Custom Views

After configuring your filters and display options:

  1. Select Save in the Customize View menu
  2. Name your view (e.g., "Weekly Staffing" or "Equipment Tracking")
  3. Optionally set it as your default view

Saved views appear at the top of your calendar, allowing you to quickly toggle between different configurations.

 

Common Use Cases

Weekly Staffing Review

Enable guide display and filter to show only unassigned timeslots. Quickly identify gaps, assign guides, then switch to the full view to verify complete coverage.

Equipment Capacity Planning

Switch to "Display Rows By: Resource Group" in Week View. This shows equipment usage across all activities, making it easy to spot capacity constraints or underutilized resources.

Daily Operations Focus

Use Day View with timeslot grouping disabled, hide empty activities, and show guides and resources. This gives you complete operational visibility for the current day.

Sales and Availability

Hide full activities, disable resource and guide display, and keep availability counts visible. This configuration helps identify which tours need promotional attention.

 

Tips for Efficient Calendar Management

Create Multiple Saved Views

Build views for different roles and tasks: one for operations managers focused on staffing, another for equipment coordinators tracking resources, and a third for sales teams monitoring availability.

Combine Filters Strategically

Use multiple display options together. Show guides but hide resources when staffing is your priority, or show resources but hide guides when coordinating equipment.

Adjust Throughout the Week

Your preferences persist, but toggle options as priorities shift. Filter for unassigned guides early in the week, then switch to full view as departure dates approach.

Resource Group Setup

Resource group filtering requires proper configuration in your account settings. See: Creating Resources & Resource Groups
